The officers of the staff, as chosen by Mr. Whitbeck. were: Co-Editors, Robert Smith and Marie Bucci; Assistant Editors, Madge Harvey and Ellen Connors: and Business Managers. Nancy Hughes and Dick Wells. The staff met during the summer and at that meeting an outline of this Yearbook was drawn up. The staff met again, early in the school year and decided that the class would try to have hard covers on the Yearbook. Later it was decided that the Senior pictures would be taken by the Gold-Tone Studios. The Yearbook staff sponsored the selling of magazine subscriptions from which the staff was to derive funds to pay part of the cost of the Yearbook. However, this drive was a total loss, as the school temporarily lost its school spirit. As the time for publication drew near, an important meeting was called of the staff at which it was acknowledged that having hard covers for the Yearbook would cost a great deal of money not anticipated in the budget. Therefore, this edition will not be bound in hard covers. We. the staff, feel that hard covers on a book do not make the book, but rather it is the value of the material on the written page that counts In view of this fact, we think that this Yearbook is perhaps the finest in the history of Mech- anicville High School. — Ci- llere the Editors and Business Managers of the Yearbook confer on page arrangement of the Activities section. Reading in the usual order we see Madge Harvey. Bob Smith. Nancy Hughes, Marie Bucci. Dick W'ells, and Ellen Connors. These members of the Staff exchange ideas about clubs and class news. Here are Laura Baker, Phyllis Heywood, Priscilla Iladdleton, Virginia Barnes, Gil Schermerhorn. Martin Dingman. Francis Baker and Ward Montgomery. These three girls do their bit by collecting pictures and compiling Senior activities. They are Betty Kurs, Joyce Mosher, and Marilyn Fay. In this group, sorting pictures for the Class pages, are Mary DeVito, Amin- da Miranda. Marcia Malone. Cecelia Palmer, Betty Pazzo, Mary Mercurio, Kate Ckrriero and Theresa Richards. Halfmoon Tearbook, 1Q48 5 6 Halfmoon Tearbook, 1948 As Americans we have been endowed by our God with what we call the “Four Freedoms.'' However, as we were born enjoying these freedoms, we are apt to take them for granted while other people in foreign countries would give any- thing to be able to enjoy these freedoms. During the past war we heard a great deal about fighting to protect these freedoms and people were conscious of our rights. In the movies, on posters and in magazines we were again and again reminded of our privileges as Americans. But now. only a short time after the closing of World War II, we have slipped into neglect of cherishing our rights. It is for this reason that we have made the theme of our Yearbook the Four Freedoms. We feel that as Americans, we should be ever conscious of our rights. If we are reminded of what freedoms are ours, the ideas of democracy will live forever and no form of government other than democracy can become pre- valent in America. Halfmoon Tearbook, 1948 7 I 'D In December 1941, the Uniled Stales became involved in a terrible war that lasted through four long and weary years. Many men and women answered the call to fight for Liberty and Freedom. From this town several hun- dred persons went forth to defend their country, and many of them did not return. It is to the forty-three graduates of Mechanicville High School who did not return that we, the Senior Class of 1948, respectfully dedicate this Yearbook.

At this meeting plans were made for an assembly which the members of Aristoi conducted to honor Alpha and S. O. S. At this same meeting six persons were elected by the group to take the Pepsi-Cola Scholarship Exam in February. The six are: Seraphino De- Lucia. Francis Baker, Madge Harvey. Marie Bucci, Betty Kurs, and Ward Mont- gomery. Two alternates. Robert Smith and Priscilla Haddleton, were also elected. During the January meeting, the members of the group posed for pictures for the Yearbook, which were taken by the Camera Club. At this same meeting an election of officers was conducted at which the following officers were elected: President. Madge Harvey; Vice-President, Francis Baker; Secretary-Treasurer, Mary Lou Mercurio. Madge Harvey, Francis Baker. Mary Lou Mercurio, and Miss Goodrich seem to be very interested in a copy of Cicero.

Marie Bucci, and Priscilla Haddleton. In this studious group we find Nancy Hughes, Phyllis Heywood, Loretta Genevick, Virginia Barnes, Theresa Pazzo, and Betty Kurs. 30 Halfmoon Tearbook, 1448 ---- ---------i 1 .... ■ zAlpha The Honor Society for members of the Junior Class is Alpha. The word Alpha is the first letter of the Greek alphabet and means ‘best’. Juniors must have eight units and an average of 8? for their first two years' work in order to become members of this Society. Alpha meets under the direction of Miss Mastrianni ofjthe Language De- partment. Of the three Honor Societies in our school, this has the largest member- ship, having 32 Juniors in its ranks. Its traditional colors are blue and silver. At the beginning of this year, the following officers were elected: President, Joan Stocker: Vice-President. Virginia Bochenek; Secretary-Treasurer, Sidney Baker. — C — Alpha's officers. Sidney Baker. Virginia Bochenek. and Joan Stocker discuss plans with their adviser. Miss Mastrianni.

The Eleventh Annual Halfmoon Hysterics, directed by Mr. Whitbeck. was presented on January 22 in the High School auditorium. Sal Izzo wrote the script, assisted by the other members of the class. The title of this year’s presenta- tion was The Outlaw of Poker Flat.” As this Yearbook went to press, the class was trying to decide on what play they wished to present later this year. They were considering “Dear Ruth.” “The Rivals,” Arms and the Man and a number of others. This is the cast of “The Outlaw of Poker Flat. shown posing before the picturesque bar which formed part of the setting for this year's production.

This is the club's second year of activity since its reorgani- zation. The members are taught how to operate a camera correctly, to develop film, and to make prints and enlargements.

Moving pictures were taken of several football games and were shown at an assembly during the winter. The officers of the Camera Club are: President. Joseph lanniello: Vice- President. Seraphino DeLucia; Secretary-Treasurer. Margaret Hayner. The photographer caught these fellows as they were examining the parts of a camera. Pete Belmont. Gene Caruso.

The fellows, who are definitely enjoying them- selves. are Peter Schultz, Charles Siciliano, Ben Sykes. Gene Caruso and Ernie D’Alberto. Here Prof. Whitbeck explains the setting-up of a tripod to Vice-President Fino DeLucia. and President Joe lanniello.

As many of last year's members have been graduated, several new first chair instrumentalists have been appointed in each organization. Soon after Christmas vacation, Mr. Korkosz. the instrumental teacher and director of the groups, added more new members to the already large groups to boost many of the sections In October the High School Band received its new uniforms, wearing them for the first time to play at the Mechanicville-Saratoga football game. The uni- forms are red and beige, consisting of jacket, cape, cap and trousers for the boys, and the same uniforms fpr the girls with skirts in place of the trousers. I he Band and Orchestra Concert will be held in the Spring this year, as usual. 1 he Little Theatre Orchestra will again play for the Commencement Exer- cises in June. The Woodwind section runs through a difficult passage a few minutes be- fore full orchestra rehearsal. Reading from left to right we find Fred Baxter. Danny Mucci. Deb Dyer, George VanDetta, Althea Quinn. Allan Offenbacker, Phyllis Tate. Jane Ann L.oman. and Marlene Sibley. Our three drummers. Joyce Mosher, Carolyn Waldron, and Trudy Finn glance through a score with Prof. Korkosz. their director. The String section is depicted tuning up in preparation for a strenuous rehearsal. This group includes Carolyn Kiley, Betty Kurs. Catherine Loman, Claramae Miller, Madge Harvey, Phyllis Heywood, Virginia Barnes, Allan Offen- backer, and Ben Sykes. Waiting their turn to tune up are the brasses of the organization, which include Fino DeLucia, Ann Marie Belmont. Dick Wiltsey, Phil Zurlo. Pat Kiley, Bill Keniry, Loyola Hostetter. Jean Merrill, Beverly Bardwell, and John Keniry. Halfmoon Tear book, 63 Halfmoan Tearbook, 1948 The M. H. S. Safety Patrol has proved itself successful and very useful since its organization in 1943. The duties of the Patrol are to sponsor assemblies on safety, inspect fire equipment, supervise fire drills and maintain order in the halls. The Patrol has taken over an outside duty of protecting the students on the school premises. Dur- ing the football season the Patrol directed traffic at the parking lot adjacent to the recreation field. Belts and badges were purchased this year for members of the Safety Patrol in order to distinguish them from the other students while they are on duty. Officers of the Patrol are: Chief, Seraphino DeLucia; Captains. Thomas Higgins. Charles Siciliano. Gilbert Schermerhorn. Prof. Whitbeck looks over a section of the Patrol while Charles Siciliano looks on. These members of the Patrol are: Donald Kreutzer, Howard Hunt, Bobby Dugan. Leo Fiacco, Frank Hannaway. Ernest Mone. Al Hale and Tom Corrigan. Chief DeLucia, and Captains Charles Siciliano. Gil Schermerhorn. and Tom Higgins, inspect a length of fire hose to make sure it is ready for any emergency. Anthony DeVito. Don Carola. Ward Montgomery. Bill Keniry, John Robens, Joe Fiacco, and Ervin Songdale line up for inspection wearing their new badges and belts.

H. S. is going to become once more, the football power that she was formerly. This year we won two games. (Watervliet 12-6, Scotia 14-0); and tied two games. (Saratoga 13-13, Delmar 7-7); but lost three games, to Hudson (18-6), Schuyler (27-0), and Lansingburgh (6-0). Last year we won only one game, beating Hudson on our own field, and tied Schuyler, also on our home field. There were mans exciting events in this year's season. There was the very bloody battle with Phillip Schuyler, in which ten of our first string players were benched for injuries. It seemed that few rules were observed during the game, and it looked as if Schuyler had invited part of the army to join its team. Another exciting game was the night game played against Watervliet on La Salle field. There was no lack of school spirit at this game for everyone went home hoarse and weary from the strenuous cheering that took place there. Our new Recreation Field, the new steel bleachers, and the hot dogs and soda sold by the Yearbook Staff at all home games added greatly to the attendance at the home games. School spirit and team spirit were both very high this year, and were very much in evidence at all M. H. S. games. These snapshots show part of the M. H. S. football team in action. Poised, ready for action are Frank Rubino, quarterback, and John Petta, halfback. Leo Fiacco. fullback, is waiting for the starting signal. Don Hinchey, co-captain and right end. is about to catch a pass from Billy Holmes. Connie DeVito, fullback, is ready for anything that may come along. Looking grim and determined, and watching the action is Joe Delano,, left end. In the line-up. ready to smash into Saratoga's team are: Hinchey, Dunbar, Coleman. DeLucia. Kelley. Elwell. Holmes. Waldron. George. Fiacco and Delano. Pictured at practice on the Rec Field is Doug Kenyon, alert halfback. Barney Elwell. center, and Billy Holmes, quarterback, prepare for the kickoff. In the backfield, all set to go, is Raymie Waldron, halfback. Fino DeLucia, captain and right guard, makes plans for the day’s game. Tom Kelley, halfback, watches his opponents in action. Halfmoon Tearbook, 1948 69 Ha If moon Tear book, ig48 M. H. S. has again shown her growing power in the world of sports, by having a very promising basketball season. When one compares the results of this year’s season with those of last year’s, it can be seen that our basketball team has greatly improved. The basketball season was not without its exciting moments. The game with Saratoga at Convention Hall was very exciting. We were losing to Saratoga stead- ily throughout the game, but in the last forty seconds we made two baskets. We still lost the game by three points, but the spectators went home with the knowl- edge that they had just witnessed an excellent game. Another basketball game worthy of mention is the game we played with Stillwater. In this game, Stillwater was ahead of Mechanicville. but in approximately the last two minutes, M. H. S. buckled down and made enough points to win the game. Mechanicville won seven games this year, which is a great improvement over the twenty straight losses she had last year. The games that we won this year were against Cohoes. Saratoga. Stillwater (both games). Burnt Hills. Johnstown, and Scotia. In the center snapshot, trying to stop their opponent from making the bas- ket. are Leo Fiacco and Joe Delano, first string favorites. Other members of the Varsity, seen in the individual pictures around the center picture, are John Petta, Leo Fiacco. Raymie Waldron. Paul Bochetti, Frank Rubino. Don Hinchey, and Ed Ronda.
